Yoga: Yoga Poses Help Relieve Back Pain, Stress, Anxiety

Yoga gets you back in balance and helps relieve stress and pain, says Kathy Rowley. Kathy has been teaching yoga for decades. According to Kathy's Yogadoga Website, “Legend has it that yoga started when sages of old observed their pups stretching and tried it. It Worked!” To decompress after the holidays, or any time, try these easy yoga poses at home, and share them with loved ones. Consider a yoga program for New Year's resolution. Doing yoga or any exercise at home saves both gas and time.

Protect your standing knee by keeping it slightly bent throughout the sequences.

If you can’t breathe, STOP! Yogis use breathing to alert them if they are at risk.

You can get some intense yoga stretches on the stairs. So don't go too far too fast. Take it real slowly. If you are having a hard time breathing, it's a sign you should ease off enough so that you can easily breathe deeply.

Feel stretch in the back of your front hamstring (thigh). You might also feel it in your calf. If you exercise a lot—and if you sit a lot—this area gets tight.

Use whichever stair is most comfortable.
